[QUOTE="Jones, post: 1788695, member: 4805"] I was taking a 45 foot trailer out to a CPU, got off the interstate and traffic was at a dead stop. Inched along for about 30 minutes til I could see the train sitting motionless on the tracks crossing the road, cops were there turning cars around but the road was divided by a jersey wall (ongoing construction) that went right up to the tracks and cars could get turned around but there was no way you get a tractor trailer through there. Pulled over on the shoulder and walked up to the cop, he told me that a train had clipped the tail end of a big rig crossing the tracks and now it couldn't move until they had inspected [I]every single [/I]car for damage a process which would take several hours. In the meantime they had shut down the off ramp from the interstate and as soon as they got all the cars cleared out myself and 2 other rigs would back down the road to the interstate. I had been in feeders about 3 weeks and was happy if I could put a trailer on a bay with only 2 or 3 pull ups, now I had to back a trailer about a mile down the road. That was a long friggin back.
